-<h3>&#8220;Normal&#8221; use of BibTeX from LaTeX</h3>
-<p/>To create a bibliography for your document, you need to perform a
-sequence of steps, some of which seem a bit odd. If you choose to use
-BibTeX, the sequence is:
-<p/>First: you need a BibTeX bibliography file (a <code>.bib</code> file) &#8212; see
-
-&#8220;<a href="FAQ-buildbib.html">creating a BibTeX file</a>&#8221;.
-<p/>Second: you must write your LaTeX document to include a declaration
-of the &#8216;style&#8217; of bibliography, citations, and a reference to the
-bibliography file mentioned in the step 1. So we may have a LaTeX
-file containing:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\bibliographystyle{plain}
-...
-Pooh is heroic~\cite{Milne:1926}.
-...
-Alice struggles~\cite{Carroll:1865}.
-...
-\bibliography{mybooks}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-Note: we have bibliography style <i>plain</i>, above, which is
-nearly the simplest of the lot: a sample text, showing the sorts of
-style choices available, can be found on Ken Turner&#8217;s web site:
-<a href="http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/latex/showbst.html">http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/latex/showbst.html</a>
-<p/>Third: you must process the file.
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-latex myfile
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-As LaTeX processes the file, the <code>\</code><code>bibliographystyle</code> command
-writes a note of the style to the <code>.aux</code> file; each
-<code>\</code><code>cite</code> command writes a note of the citation to the
-<code>.aux</code> file, and the <code>\</code><code>bibliography</code> command writes a note
-of which <code>.bib</code> file is to be used, to the <code>.aux</code> file.
-<p/>Note that, at this stage, LaTeX isn&#8217;t &#8220;resolving&#8221; any of the
-citations: at every <code>\</code><code>cite</code> command, LaTeX will warn you of the
-undefined citation, and when the document finishes, there will be a
-further warning of undefined references.
-<p/>
-
-<p/>Fourth: you must run BibTeX:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-bibtex myfile
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-Don&#8217;t try to tell BibTeX anything but the file name: say
-<code>bibtex myfile.aux</code> (because you know it&#8217;s going to read the
-<code>.aux</code> file) and BibTeX will blindly attempt to process
-<code>myfile.aux.aux</code>.
-<p/>BibTeX will scan the <code>.aux</code> file; it will find which bibliography
-style it needs to use, and will &#8220;compile&#8221; that style; it will note
-the citations; it will find which bibliography files it needs, and
-will run through them matching citations to entries in the
-bibliography; and finally it will sort the entries that have been
-cited (if the bibliography style specifies that they should be
-sorted), and outputs the resulting details to a <code>.bbl</code> file.
-<p/>Fifth: you run LaTeX again. It warns, again, that each citation is
-(still) undefined, but when it gets to the <code>\</code><code>bibliography</code> command,
-it finds a <code>.bbl</code> file, and reads it. As it encounters each
-<code>\</code><code>bibitem</code> command in the file, it notes a definition of the
-citation.
-<p/>Sixth: you run LaTeX yet again. This time, it finds values for all
-the citations, in its <code>.aux</code> file. Other things being equal, you&#8217;re
-done&#8230; until you change the file.
-<p/>If, while editing, you change any of the citations, or add new ones,
-you need to go through the process above from steps 3 (first run of
-LaTeX) to 6, again, before the document is once again stable.
-These four mandatory runs of LaTeX make processing a document with
-a bibliography even more tiresome than the normal two runs required to
-resolve labels.
-<p/>To summarise: processing to resolve citations requires: LaTeX;
-BibTeX; LaTeX; LaTeX.
